Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour in the brandy and cook for another minute, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and flavors to concentrate.
  5. Remove the mushroom mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
  6. Place one chicken breast on a sheet of plastic wrap. Place 1 ounce of cheese on top of the breast, then spoon a quarter of the mushroom mixture over the cheese.
  7. Use the plastic wrap to help roll the chicken breast tightly around the filling. Repeat with the remaining breasts.
  8. Melt the remaining butter. Lay out the phyllo dough sheets, keeping them covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
  9. Brush each phyllo sheet lightly with melted butter. Stack two sheets together.
  10. Place a stuffed chicken breast on the phyllo stack and roll it up tightly, tucking in the ends. Repeat for all four breasts.
  11. Place the wrapped chicken on a baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with more melted butter.
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is cooked through.
  13. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
